Lu Heng's conjecture was completely baseless. It was just something he randomly made up to make Li Qitian feel even worse.
Seeing Li Qitian's expression change, Lu Heng's sadness of not being able to marry Qin Yining was slightly alleviated.
Li Qitian clearly knew what had happened that day in Ci 'an Palace, but he still sided with Pang Xiao and betrothed Qin Yining to that boorish man. Lu Heng was angry and regretful. He couldn't even sleep.
He really didn't think that as the legitimate son of the Lu family, there would be a time when he couldn't get what he wanted.
In reality, Lu Heng didn't know why he was so concerned about Qin Yining. Qin Yining clearly didn't treat him well. Not only did he treat him badly, he even schemed against him.
But it was her intelligence that made him look at her in a new light. It made him admire her endlessly, and it made him feel a sense of novelty.
It was not easy to meet a woman with such outstanding looks and wisdom. If he wanted to casually find a beautiful woman to be his second wife, he wouldn't need to make it public. There were plenty of people in the capital who would be willing to send their unmarried daughters to him.
But none of those people could move his heart.
The only one who could move his heart was now going to marry someone else.
Lu Heng looked at Li Qitian, whose brows were tightly knitted, and felt even more depressed. He only felt a bit better after winning two games in a row against the Emperor. In the third game, he quietly let Li Qitian win.
Li Qitian was originally confused because he couldn't figure out Qin Huaiyuan and Pang Xiao's background. Then he was defeated by Lu Heng twice in a row, so he felt even more depressed.
Fortunately, he still won in the end. This made Li Qitian feel much better.
The two of them had their own thoughts and were tired from playing chess. Lu Heng took his leave.
When she left the palace, she bumped into Anyang Eldest Princess Li Helan.
Li Helan was dressed in a bright red brocade robe. Her hair was combed into a high bun, and the golden phoenix buyao on the bun shone brightly under the warm sunlight, complementing her red palace dress. In this warm weather, it was somewhat dazzling and irritating.
In particular, Li Helan's face was extremely ugly. His eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Lu Heng greeted Li Helan.
Lu Heng was such a noble person. Even if he saluted, it wouldn't make people feel that he was inferior to anyone. Instead, it would make people feel that he had a status. The reason why he saluted was because he understood etiquette and was respectful to others.
Li Helan was a little embarrassed. She hoped that no one would notice her swollen eyes. She faintly said, "No need for formalities."
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Perhaps Eldest Princess did not rest well? Your eyes are swollen. You should pay more attention to your body. "
When Li Helan heard this, her muscles stiffened. She stared at Lu Heng for a while before confirming that he didn't have any intention of mocking her.
"This princess knows." Li Helan waved her hand with a dark expression. Then, she quickly left with the palace servants.
Seeing this, Lu Heng found it funny again.
This imperial brother and sister were indeed born as local emperors. They probably didn't know what the real imperial family was like.
The Lu family supported their family for the sake of the family's stability and development. However, the imperial family wasn't willing to listen to them anymore. Instead, they wanted to fight back.
As the son of the first wife, Lu Heng naturally had to plan for this matter.
"Forget it." Lu Heng's mind was in a mess. When he thought about how Qin Yining was about to marry Pang Xiao, his heart felt uncomfortable. He didn't have any interest in thinking about the family's business.
Qin Yining didn't know that Your Majesty's imperial edict to bestow a marriage would cause so many people to react.
At this time, the family was preparing for her hairpin ceremony.
"Master said that he had already invited the Marquis of Anchang's Estate's Old Madame to be the guest of honor. The Old Madame has both a son and a daughter. She is deeply in love with the Marquis of Anchang. The two elders are both healthy and healthy. This is an Old Madame with both good fortune and talent. "
When the Sun Clan said this, they felt honored.
After all, Qin Huaiyuan had just arrived, but they already had such great influence in the imperial court. Not every family's daughter was able to persuade the Marquis of Anchang to be the guest of honor.
"As for the assistant and assistant, our family has two young ladies. Sister Hui will be the assistant, and Miss Eight will be the assistant. Is that alright?"
"Of course." Miss Eight smiled and nodded.
Qin Huining forced a smile and said, "This is our honor."
She had already accepted her fate.
She couldn't compare with others. Miss Eight was about to become a princess consort, but her future was still uncertain. Qin Huining no longer had the confidence to compete with Qin Yining.
Seeing that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, Qin Yining didn't even have a chance to interrupt. She simply didn't say anything and just quietly watched her mother make arrangements for her.
This feeling of having a mother to rely on was extremely satisfying. It was something she didn't even dare to think about a year ago.
At that time, the Sun Clan didn't like her. Now, they were a loving mother and filial daughter.
She was going to get married next month. With such a tight schedule, Qin Yining already felt reluctant to leave her family.
The hairpin ceremony was scheduled for the next day.
Qin Huaiyuan still kept a low profile and didn't invite too many people.
However, Yuchi Yan personally brought Li Yanyan and Gu Chang to Qin Yining and gave her a phoenix hairpin decorated with jade and gold.
Yuchi Yan became even thinner, and the white hair on his temples also increased.
His gaze became distant as he watched Qin Yining tie his hair into a hairpin.
He didn't stay in the Family Qin for long and left after watching the ceremony.
Qin Huaiyuan personally saw him out the door.
Before he left, Yuchi Yan turned around to look at the courtyard. Unexpectedly, Qin Yining also turned around to look at him.
Her long black hair looked glossy under the sunlight. She wore the phoenix hairpin decorated with jade and gold that he gave her.
The two of them looked at each other. She smiled slightly, and the dimples on her cheeks were faintly discernible. She was so beautiful that she looked like a painting.
Yuchi Yan's eyes were burning, and the corners of his lips were trembling. He stiffly turned around and strode away. He was in such a sorry state that it seemed like someone was chasing after him.
Li Yanyan and Gu Chang both saw Yuchi Yan's sorry state, and their hearts ached.
As usual, Qin Huaiyuan treated Yuchi Yan with courtesy and respect. He directly escorted him to the carriage and followed the carriage to the corner of the street.
After Qin Yining performed the hairpin ceremony, the elders of the family began to contact the Prince Zhongshun's residence to discuss the details of the wedding.
Qin Yining was kept in his room to embroider pillows.
Three days passed like this. Just as the wedding preparations were in full swing, an unexpected guest suddenly came to the Family Qin.
"Lord Qin!"
Yuchi Yan's personal eunuch, Little Lu, fell to his knees when he saw Qin Huaiyuan and repeatedly kowtowed. "Please help me, Lord Qin, save the Royal Prince! I beg you! "
"Eunuch Lu, please get up. What's going on?" Qin Huaiyuan helped Little Lu up with both hands.
